Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of 3D printer technology, specifically to a nozzle calibration device for a 3D printer. Background Technology

[0002] During the use of a 3D printer, the movement distance and position of the nozzle may deviate. If this deviation is not detected and calibrated in time, it will directly affect the accuracy of the printer. However, existing 3D printers use a specified time for calibration, which makes it impossible to detect deviations in time during the calibration interval. Furthermore, the calibration process is complex and cumbersome. Therefore, a device is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

The support limiting frame is fixedly connected to the upper end of one side of the support base. The movable printing stage is slidably engaged with the upper end of the support base. The track plate is slidably engaged with the support limiting frame. The nozzle is slidably engaged with the track plate. The first mounting plate is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the nozzle by bolts. The second detection and calibration plate is evenly distributed on the side end of the first mounting plate. The main detection and calibration unit is fixedly mounted in the middle of the upper end of the support limiting frame.

[0017] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The present invention provides an embodiment of a nozzle calibration device for a 3D printer, comprising a main detection and calibration unit 1, a support and limiting frame 2, a support base 3, a movable printing stage 5, a nozzle 6, a track plate 9, a second detection and calibration plate 10, and a first mounting plate 11. The support and limiting frame 2 is fixedly connected to the upper end of one side of the support base 3. The movable printing stage 5 is slidably engaged with the upper end of the support base 3. The track plate 9 is slidably engaged with the support and limiting frame 2. The nozzle 6 is slidably engaged with the track plate 9. The first mounting plate 11 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the nozzle 6 by bolts. The second detection and calibration plate 10 is evenly distributed on the side end of the first mounting plate 11. The main detection and calibration unit 1 is fixedly mounted in the middle of the upper end of the support and limiting frame 2.

The nozzle 6 moves along the track plate 9, and the movable printing table 5 can be adjusted and moved along the support base 3, allowing printing to be completed smoothly. During printing, the height and lateral movement distance of the nozzle 6 directly affect the quality of the printed product. As the nozzle 6 moves along the track plate 9, the first laser rangefinder 7 can detect and monitor the distance between itself and the first detection calibration plate 4 in real time, thereby determining whether the distance the nozzle 6 moves is the same as the preset moving distance and the moving path at a specified time. Similarly, through various... The second laser rangefinder 17 can detect and monitor the distance between itself and the second calibration plate 10 in real time to ensure the accuracy of the nozzle 6's lifting distance and whether it conforms to the preset movement path. Furthermore, multiple first laser rangefinders 7 and second laser rangefinders 17 are provided, making the detected data more accurate. When a deviation in the lateral or longitudinal movement or position of the nozzle 6 is detected, the corresponding first alarm 12 and second alarm 13 will sound an alarm, allowing for targeted and timely calibration of the nozzle 6. The detected data can be displayed in real time on the display screen 14, facilitating accurate and rapid calibration.
